Beethoven: Diabelli Variations
Mitsuko Uchida (piano)
[ Decca / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 8 April 2022
Revered pianist and peerless interpreter of the music of Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert, Mitsuko Uchida presents a recording of this Everest of the piano repertoire.
"Uchida's response on this superb recording is the same: she audibly relishes the 33 variations' endless juxtapositions of light and shade." Sunday Times
"If her performance comes across as a breathtakingly extravagant display of intellect and imagination, that's because this is what Beethoven's music is." Gramophone Recording of the Month May 2022
"Her Diabelli Variations are a triumph of wit and character…Yet it's in her handling of the profundity lying beneath that Uchida makes her *Diabellis* stand out. Underneath the constantly changing surface runs a seam of solemnity and devotion, whether mystical, enigmatic, lyrical, or consolatory." Five Stars Instrumental Choice
BBC Music Magazine July 2022
'If her performance comes across as a breathtakingly extravagant display of intellect and imagination, that's because this is what Beethoven's music is.' Gramophone Award WINNER 2022 - Piano
